"The experience with H&S painting was smooth. The crew showed up when Humberto scheduled and worked efficiently, quickly to complete the staining and paint job on the house prior to the targeted end date. Colors and staining came out just as expected. The crew was clean and courteous in the day to day interactions. Crew also identified a previous unknown issue with the fascia connection to power on the house so that was much appreciated. Very professional team. I highly recommend H&S painting to anyone considering painting and staining their house."

"John Avila is a great guy to work with. We needed major work done on our two story house that included removal of old rain gutters, an old fire place chimney that is never used, damaged siding, damaged fascia board, old window trim and much more that hadn?t been touched in over 25 years. The house, including the steel roof was then pressured washed, caulked, primed and re-painted with top end Dunn Edward paint. Many other fine details were taken care of as well. The list goes on and on. It took well over a month to get all the work done. I am a retired building contractor too old to do this work but John and his crew were here to do the job. His prices aren?t cheap or over the top but reasonable with a little negotiating. I know that John is very busy and sometimes forgets to get back to your questions but I am a little concerned that he didn?t follow through with my request for getting an estimate for new flooring throughout or house."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

His craftsmanship is top-notch, and he truly can do it all. Juan was professional, efficient, and incredibly easy to work with throughout the entire process. It?s rare to find someone so skilled across so many trades, and we?re so glad we did. Highly recommend him for any home improvement project!"

"This husband and wife team were top notch! They were always "positive" to all of my requests concerning the painting of the exterior portion of my house. We are very happy with the ways the colors came out for the house. They were very reasonable in the cost of doing the painting job. Would definitely hire them again!"

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Beyond liquid rubber, homeowners can use sealants, stains, membranes, or tapes as waterproofing options. Oil-based or water-based sealants soak into the wood, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Waterproofing stains—available in transparent, semi-transparent, and solid colors—add both protection and style to your deck. For heavy-duty waterproofing, deck membranes and waterproof tapes can be applied under the deck boards to direct water away from the structure below. Whatever method you choose, clean and prep the deck first to ensure the best, longest-lasting results.

Staining or sealing a cedar deck or fence is highly recommended to extend its lifespan and protect it from the elements. While cedar is naturally resistant to mold and mildew, it is not impervious to damage from moisture, sun exposure, splintering, fading, and rot over time. Applying a protective finish creates a shield that preserves the wood's strength and appearance, potentially extending its life by five to 10 years.

When choosing a finish, it's helpful to understand the difference between a sealer and a stain. A sealer sits on top of the wood, whereas a combination stain and sealer soaks into the top layer. Because it penetrates the wood, a stain generally offers better protection against UV damage and rot and lasts significantly longer. For the best results that also preserve the wood's natural color, consider using a near-translucent stain.

To maintain protection, plan on reapplying the stain or sealer every two to three years, either as a DIY project or by hiring a professional.

DIY is possible but presents risks of uneven surfaces or improper adhesion; professionals offer expertise to ensure a lasting finish.

The general consensus is that two coats of stain are required and since the cedar is siding, a third coat of sealant is always a good idea. This helps protect the wood and stain, so you won’t need to resand and restain for at least a decade. Each stain after the first will darken the wood, so be aware of that when choosing a colored stain.

Yes, it is important to wash your deck before painting to ensure the paint applies well and adheres properly. While you don't have to use a pressure washer, it is one of the most efficient cleaning methods. Pressure washing can quickly remove dirt, wood fibers, and flaked paint, getting deeper into the wood than manual scrubbing. You can also clean the deck with a stiff broom and a cleaning solution. Regardless of the method, a clean surface is essential for good paint adhesion. Make sure the deck is completely dry before applying any paint.
